Yo no quiero ir a la guerra
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Porque la guerra nos da pena
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Yo no quiero ir a la guerra
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Porque la guerra nos da pena
Lideres del mundo dejen de combatir
Por absurda ambición
El desarrollo no es material
Es un estado de conciencia mental
EnvÃan a mil hombres a combatir
why los liquidan con un botón
Sin siquiera saber cual es la razón
Vamos a buscar comunión
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Yo no quiero ir a la guerra
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Porque la guerra nos da pena
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Yo no quiero ir a la guerra
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Porque la guerra nos da pena
Millones invertidos
En maquinas de matar
No encuentran la paz
Ni la encontraran
RÃos de sangre why de frustración
Corren por la historia de Babylon
Pueblos hermanos
Que luchan entre si
Matándose en nombre de su dios
Olvidan why olvidan la divina unión
Prefiriendo la segregación
Yo se que esto va a cambiar,
Yo se que se iluminara,
Yo se que lo comprenderás
Cuando abras tu mente why dejes
Entrar la verdad
El mundo esta hambriento de verdad
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Yo no quiero ir a la guerra
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Porque la guerra nos da pena
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Yo no quiero ir a la guerra
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Porque la guerra nos da pena
Yo se que esto va a cambiar,
Yo se que se iluminara,
Yo se que lo comprenderás
Cuando abras tu mente why dejes
Entrar la verdad
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Yo no quiero ir a la guerra
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Porque la guerra nos da pena
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Yo no quiero ir a la guerra
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Porque la guerra nos da pena
In Gondwana's song "Guerra," the lyrics express a deep desire to avoid going to war. The repetition of "Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no" emphasizes the singer's strong opposition to war. They reject the idea of war because it brings sadness to people. The song then calls upon world leaders to stop fighting due to the absurd desire for power and development. The development that the singer is referring to is not merely materialistic but rather a state of mental awareness. The song talks about how meaningless war is as it sends thousands of people to fight and die without even knowing the reasons for the conflict. The lyrics are seeking common ground to find a solution and promote peace.
Further, the song sends a message about the need for change. The lyrics highlight the futility of investing millions of dollars into machines of death, leading only to rivers of blood and frustration throughout history. Brotherly peoples fight against each other in the name of their gods, forgetting the divine union and supporting segregation. Although war brings despair and pain, the lyrics end with a hopeful message. The singer expresses assurance that things will change, and the truth will shine through once people open their minds to it.
